What do you think of the following rims?

unfortunately i'm still looking for some rims. so difficult to find what is the right rim for my car. i have a SW with a CF hood and soon-to-be-installed CF hatch with 20% tint all around.

if you can make any recommendations for rims not found on this list (that'll look nice on my car) please let me know!!! preferably a rim that is 17x8...

below is my current list. right now i'm debating between the Enkei ZR1 or the MB Weapons (leaning more towards this), but i'm not sure how it'll look on my car.

Enkei ZR1 - 17x7.5 +35, 18 lbs
(i know it's only 17x7.5, but for some reason they caught my eye. kinda reminds me of the Lexus IS 250/350 rims)

Konig Heatsink - 17x8 +40, ?? lbs (maybe 20)

Konig Sideways - 17x8 +40, ?? lbs (maybe 20)

MB Weapons aka A-Tech Eraser - 17x8 +46, 18 lbs

Enkei FTW.

scions + enkei wheels = sexytime!

btw, make sure you get a +35 offset!

well, here's a pic of my car now. i just got a CF hatch installed over the weekend.

sorry i didn't have time to take better pics.

along with the Enkei ZR1's and MB Weapons, my brother showed me the following rims (which look great, but i still can't make a decision).

Tenzo DC-5
18x8, +45 offset

Tenzo Mach-10
18x7.5, +42 offset

i really like both...especially the Mach-10's. they're obviously rip-offs of the G-Games 77M Time Attack rims (10 vs 9 spoke), but nice nonetheless.

i'm not sure if Mach-10's will look OK since i don't have any other red on the car. maybe i'll paint my calipers red...
